I took the time to scan it so i figured i would post it here too. Yes that says 2460 with a couple ounce of gas probably the light had been on awhile.

Trunk stripped, most sound deadening is gone. There is plenty behind the dash that i did not care to remove. Rear piece of the center console behind the shifter is removed, front speaker covers removed,rear decklid and rear seatbelts removed.

Cool.

I just put an M50 and 260 with a JB flywheel into my 325i auto, and my ride height is up atleast an inch in the front. It's absurd.

[aeryk7]

I posted this up cause people were doubting me.Had that problem too until i got ahold of some used Ground controls .

Ha, I just dropped in the engine and trans in my swap, and the ride height is still at 4x4. Of course, I haven't installed the H&Rs yet...

The rear piece of the center console probably weighs a few ounces. The carpet weighs a decent amount. Do you still have the rear seat in?

[aeryk7]

Rear seat is out , carpet is out as well but i still had the carpet when it weighed 2460. Either way i picked up the carpet after it was uninstalled and it didnt way more than 20lbs seriously i might install a black one. i just have floor mats on the floor now.

props dude, I wasn't doubting you on Bf.c persay, I was just in disbelief because originally all you mentioned was no console and rear speaker stuff, I was like uh that aint good for 300lbs lol.


Now i really wanna know what my gutted early model 318 weights.

[aeryk7]

No worries i posted my weight before and people didnt believe me either...... Bottom line though i could make the car lighter. I wanted to get to 2200lbs but not gonna be able to do that feat with out serious track prep weight loss.

who needs a dash or doors that open anyways. :-D

[FredK]

Yeah, you should just cut the floors out and wear goggles.

Sounds about right , but why did you keep the full A/C system but remove the dash?

Mine was cracked, and haven't installed my crackfree yet. Also, I still have to finish up the A/C and it provides much easier access to the expansion valve and evap, incase they have leaks.
